Chapter 247 Lin Qingning is coming
The Mid-Autumn Festival is only half a month away. The battle in Miaozhou is very tense. Yan Xingchuan dare not relax at all and focuses most of his attention on the battlefield.
The only thing he could spare time for was probably to pick out some of his new things and send someone to Xianyang City to Cui Si.
He had just made all these arrangements when Shen Sui hurried over to ask for a meeting.
"Is there anything going on with the war?"
Shen Sui was still wearing his armor and had come in a hurry, almost as if he had just come down from the battlefield.
"Greetings, my lord." Shen Sui bowed and then said, "There's nothing happening on the battlefield. I just got the news that Madam Lin has arrived, so I came to tell my lord about it."
Madam Lin?
Lin Qingning?
Yan Xingchuan frowned slightly. "Didn't I say that after rescuing her, we would send her directly to Beiyan City? How did you arrange that?"
The matter of sending people to the Imperial City to rescue Lin Qingning had always been arranged by Shen Sui. No one in Northern Yan could care more about this matter than him.
However, Jiang Shao hid the person well, and the Imperial City was the imperial city of the imperial court. In addition, Lin Qingning personally did not trust the visitor, so he kept delaying and did not take the person away from the Imperial City until the beginning of the month.
After Yan Xingchuan learned about this, he had Lin Qingning secretly brought back to Beiyan City.
Chen Sui explained, "This is what Madam Lin wanted. Madam Lin said that she had been lonely all her life and that the master was her only relative. She wanted to come and see the master. I thought it was no big deal, so I agreed."
"It's not a big deal?" Yan Xingchuan looked at him with a cold look. "You were always dissatisfied with me before, but our goals are the same, so I don't care. But you took the initiative this time, which was really too much."
There are two brothers in the Shen family. Shen Mo is Yan Xingchuan's lackey brother. He often followed Yan Xingchuan around when he was a child, while Shen Sui grew up with Yan Xingchuan's eldest brother Yan Xingshan.
Revenge for the Yan family is their common goal.
But in fact, Shen Sui looked down on him.
In Shen Sui's heart, the most dazzling and outstanding young generation of the Yan family will always be Yan Xingshan, the eldest son of the Yan family, and not him, who in his youth only wanted to lie down, would rather lean than stand, and would rather lie down than sit - the future dandy.
Originally, the two of them trusted each other. Although Chen Sui was dissatisfied with some of his behaviors, he kept silent and pretended that Yan Xingchuan did not exist.
He did his best as the King of Northern Yan, and Shen Sui did his best as the general. There was still trust between them, and their goals were still the same.
But when it comes to Lin Qingning's affairs, some of Shen Sui's actions really made Yan Xingchuan very dissatisfied.
In her previous life, Lin Qingning was terminally ill and had only a few days left to live. She asked to marry him, hoping that he would fulfill the promise made between the Yan and Lin families and marry her.
Shen Sui was also the first to stand up and use the lives of the Yan family's dead ancestors, his parents, brothers, and dozens of lives of the Lin family to force him.
It’s not that he wanted to let his wife down, but at that time, he had no choice.
The elders of the Yan family and his brother died tragically. In order to protect him, the Lin family let their cousin who looked somewhat similar to him die in his place. Later, even the entire Lin family could not escape the fate of being implicated and killed.
He fled with Lin Qingning, but was separated from her on the way, causing her to suffer all kinds of torture from Jiang Shao for many years.
She made this request before she died, and it was her lifelong wish.
He couldn't let her die with regrets.
So he made his choice.
He is worthy of the people of the world, worthy of the Yan family, and worthy of the Lin family, but he is not worthy of his wife and children.
In Cui Si's view, he was an ungrateful villain. She had been with him for more than ten years, sharing the good and bad times with him, and had exhausted all her efforts for Northern Yan. But as soon as he rose to power, he wanted to marry someone else and kick her away.
How innocent was she to be treated like this?
She said she could understand that he had no choice, but at the same time, she would never forgive him and would never look back.
To this day, he has not been able to untie this knot.
"But that's Madam Lin, a cousin of the Yan family. Now that both the Yan and Lin families are gone, it's only natural for her to come and reunite with the Master." Shen Sui frowned, then said,
"When the prince was alive, he loved this cousin the most. If the prince were still alive, he would definitely not even see her."
Yan Xingchuan frowned, and his gaze towards Chen Sui became even colder. Chen Sui lowered his head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye, but he did not back down either.
After a long pause, Yan Xingchuan said, "Never mind. I can see her once, but I'll send someone to take her back to Beiyan City. Jiang Shao should be looking for her now, and Beiyan City is the safest place."
It is obviously unacceptable to avoid seeing someone when they are already here.
"But you took matters into your own hands."
"Please punish me, my lord."
Yan Xingchuan thought for a moment and said, “After this battle, I’ll let Chen Mo beat you up.”
Chen Sui: “?!”
"Don't fight back."
The corner of Shen Sui's mouth twitched, and when he thought of Shen Mo's arrogant face, his face felt a little embarrassed, and his whole body was full of rejection.
That kid can bully him, isn't it heaven? Perhaps in less than a day, the whole army will be crazy about it. He Shen Sui is no longer capable and was defeated by General Shen.
"Why? Not happy?"
"I obey your command." No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to agree.
"If you have nothing else to do, go down and focus on the war. I will take care of Lin Qingning's affairs."
"yes."
Shen Sui accepted the order and left, Yan Xingchuan sighed as he sat in his seat.
He selfishly didn't want to see Lin Qingning. When the two cousins met again after many years, he didn't feel happy at all, but instead felt panic.
He was afraid that this news would reach Cui Si's ears, and she would remember him again. Or perhaps she would wish him and his cousin to live happily ever after and never see him again.
"Where is General Shen?" Yan Xingchuan called over his personal guards and asked.
"General Shen is still on the battlefield and should be back soon." There hasn't been a major war recently, but small fights have continued. I wonder if the Northern Yan army has also sent people to test it.
"When he comes back, let him come over."
"yes."
Chen Mo completed today's siege mission. After a few attacks and killing a few people, he led his men to retreat. When he learned that Yan Xingchuan wanted to see him, he hurried to the main tent.
"My Lord, you are looking for me."
"Lin Qingning is coming."
Chen Mo was slightly surprised: "What is she doing here? Didn't you ask someone to take her to Beiyan City?"
"Chen Sui made the decision on his own, and the person is about to arrive." Yan Xingchuan held the teacup, feeling very annoyed.
"He made the decision on his own?" Shen Mo's face changed. "Is this bastard crazy?"
Where Lin Qingning wants to go and whether Yan Xingchuan wants to meet her is naturally up to Yan Xingchuan himself.
Since Yan Xingchuan didn't want to see him at the moment, Shen Sui took the initiative to bring him here.
Who is he and why is he the boss of Yan Xingchuan?
